What brand of bicycle rack do you use with this? The one I have does not fit well.

We have an Allen 4 bike deluxe and use a Curt hitch cargo carrier in the bottom receiver. Made the trip from Mo. to Maine and points in between with no problems. The Allen bike rack has the ability to fold down so you can access the rear of your vehicle if needed. Love it.

I bought a rack at the same time and it went right on no problems. I did have a bike with separate bolt holes on the frame for finders and a rack. Clearance was not a problem. You might have to get longer bolts if you only have one hole set for both fenders and rack. With 1/2" elevation difference in the bike mounting holes, I still have 1" between the fender and the bottom of the rack. I cannot answer about the baskets.

Nope... Not the one I just got. I purchased a basic rear rack to support it over the rear tire of my 26" mountain (now street cruiser) bicycle.

No, doesn't work with other racks ... and unfortunate ... because it is a great product!

I've only used it for a kayak rack, but it was a tight fit. All i can say is you'll need a different bike rack, or maybe you can get a longer ubolt that fits the rack at a hardware store.

This rack should do the trick. It works best if your seat post is angled back somewhat and not straight up. It fits a large range of seat post diameters too ands is quick release.

Any flat, rear bike rack will do. The basket comes with a long bracket so you can affix it. It has a nice, secure fit.

Hi, I'm not sure about your rack, but I had to build two extenders for mine because the rack trails were too short. I knew they were short because I verified the minimum length of the bars for the hullavator and I mine were about 5" shorter. It is a matter of putting together two metal bars with some clamps (so that I can remove them). Good luck ;)

Yes, there could be a problem with that depending on the size of your bikes. It rubbed on mine. But even more of a problem is the design of the rubber pieces to securely hold the bike to the rack. The straps are not well designed. They are too short and very hard to pull over the bike tube and hook. I would not recommend this rack. I now use it to hang my A frame ladder and, after we are parked, it is also used to hang wet clothes!

The top of the rack itself has a 15 1/2" platform. Mine sits a few inches back from seat post tube. The distance from post tube to the back of rack is 21". My seat however extends 1" over the front of the rack, leaving 14 1/2" of space for a very high basket or pack. All of this depends somewhat on your bike geometry since the rack is adjustable. You shouldn't have a problem with the basket extending over the back of the rack however (it's very sturdy) so it will probably work for you.

I would try loading your bike onto the rack with your existing bolt to see if that worked instead of using the one they provide

I am afraid most step through bikes will not fit this rack. There are adapters form those style frames that clam onto the seat post and handle bar to allow those style bikes to be carried on a conventional bike rack but for the most part without that they won't fit.

I have no problem using this rack with walk through bikes. Just adjust the clamps snug where the bars meet.

Sorry, I am not the person to ask. An owner of a bicycle shop looked it up online for me to see what bike rack would fit my '89 Chevy Caprice Classic.

Ivy, both of the bikes i have have a horizontial top bar. Given each clamp that hold the bikes are adjustable, I would assume you can make it adjustable. To be on the safe side, I would look for a different style of bike rack to use.Good Luck,E. Daniels

As long as you have at least two inches of exposed seat post, Topeak should have one that works. They make three different seat post racks to fit bikes of different shapes. They are all identical as far how the bag slips on, they just have different angles so it does not interfere with your back tire. I can't advise you which one to get. Just look at the angle of your seat post in relation to your tire. One of their racks is straight, one bends up, and one bends down.

Any standard rack should do(that is made for panniers). You just need to trim or tuck the straps in standard fashion. No problem. I use them on a 26" mountain and a 700c with no problems
